Currently Closed To New Registrations
Non-urgent advice: Informal List Closure
From Wednesday 1st December 2021 Market Quarter Medical Practice will have an Informal List Closure and will not be accepting new patient registrations.
GP Practices have a duty of care to provide quality, accessible and safe care to patients. We also have an obligation to review and take appropriate measures if we deem our workload would compromise patient safety or the care we provide.
Unfortunately, we feel unable to accept any new requests to register with us at this time and have taken the decision to apply an informal list closure whilst we continue our efforts to recruit GPs, or other healthcare professionals that can complement the service we wish to provide.
We have a shortfall which equates to 5 full days of GP time for which we have been unable to recruit. Our list size has continued to rise, and we now feel that if we continue to accept new registrations, then the level of workload will jeopardise our ability to provide safe care to our existing patients with the resources that we have.
We will continue to accept new registrations which meet the following criteria
- New-born babies/looked after children whose parents/carers are registered at the surgery.
- Immediate family of existing patients living in the same household.
Please be assured that we have not taken this decision lightly. Nor does this decision in anyway relate to applicant race, gender, social class, age, religion, sexual orientation, appearance, disability or medical conditions.
